Real estate agent

Most buyers and sellers rely on a state licensed real estate agent to find them a home, negotiate the earnest money contract, select a lender and a title company like Stewart Title, and consult with them throughout the closing and beyond. Your agent works in the local real estate market every day and can assist you in making an informed decision about the type of house you can afford to purchase.
